The brothers - Isaac, Taylor and Zac - announced they will be hitting 40 cities worldwide, including London, in a tour kicking off in June.

In a statement from the band, they said: "Making music together for 25 years is a milestone that we had to acknowledge, and what better way to do it than with an anniversary tour.

"This year is not only about the two decades of music, it’s about celebrating the incredible community of fans who have been with us, singing along year after year."

Hanson were formed in 2002 when Isaac was 11, Taylor was nine and Zac was just six.

In 1997, the band released their first big album Middle Of Nowhere, with their debut single MmmBop becoming an iconic pop song and a tune you won't be able to get out of your head for the rest of the day. Sorry.

However, you may be shocked to hear that the boys are all now in their 30s and have 12 children between them.

Guitarist Isaac is now 36, and he got married in 2006 to Nicole Dufresne. The couple have three children – Clarke, James and Nina.

Little Zac, who played the drums and arguably had the best hair, is now 31 – yes, really.
